Did anybody on abraxane experience heart symptoms? Like slowed heart rate after treatment and flutters/papiltations and shortness of breath even at rest. I went to the ER all my blood work, EKG, and X-ray came back normal. But I just want to see if anybody else has experienced these things?
What would you guys do in my situation.. so today I went into my office visit before my third infusion. I had some confusion with my pathology report after surgery but never asked until today. My report says “DCIS size/extent: Up to 1.3 cm greatest dimension (intermixed with invasive carcinoma).” “And IDC 1.3cm greatest dimension” so I’ve always wondered if my invasive size was smaller since it does say it’s intermixed with dcis. So I asked my onc today and he looks and says “oh your idc was only 7mm” but I don’t see that anywhere on the pathology report.. I know my biopsy said it was 7mm but he specifically said my path said 7mm.. but why wouldn’t he have told me that in the beginning?? I’m just confused and don’t know what to do. Because now he’s saying chemo is up to me and there’s only a 2-5% benefit of chemo with a 7mm size.. I just need opinions.
I don’t even wanna finish treatment but I know I need to. I’m doing adjuvant chemo for 1.3cm tnbc node neg, LIV neg, and nerve neg. Had my dmx and now I’m doing my adjuvant chemo. I’m tired of feeling like crap all the time I’m getting so depressed I just wanna feel normal again It’s not just the nausea or the fatigue. It’s watching your life keep moving while you’re stuck on the couch feeling like a shell of yourself. It’s seeing your kids want your attention when all you want to do is sleep. It’s missing the version of yourself that could just get up, go somewhere, play with the kids, clean the house, or do normal things without having to think about every ounce of energy. I’m 24 years old I shouldn’t have to be dealing with this. Life is just so unfair..

What is everyone’s experience with abraxane? I had my first TC infusion for my stage 1A tnbc. And the steroids and TC were god awful.. I couldn’t tolerate the steroids very well so we made the switch to weekly abraxane for 9 infusions. I had my first infusion of abraxane + cytoxan yesterday, and I seem to have way less side effects just very fatigued and mild nausea today. Just curious to see other people’s experiences. :)
24 F How are we making chemo more manageable?? This is the worst I’ve ever felt in my life. I’m 3days post treatment and man this is rough, the dizziness and brain fog/confusion. The reactive racing heart, the body pain. Not even wanting to get out of bed because I’m scared I’ll fall over. The drenching sweats. I knew it was gonna be bad but this is so much worse than I was expecting.
23F for stage 1A tnbc diagnoses. Had clear margins at dmx on April 10th and today I completed my first round of adjuvant TC today!! 1 down 3 more to go woohoo🎉🎉❤️
I know I just posted yesterday but I’m really just at a breaking point. Im 24F I started 20mg of Prozac 13 days ago, I have been having terrible anxiety and panic, weird blurry/staticky vision and i just feel so unreal. And like my mind is so foggy and floaty and forgetful. I’m so jittery and shaky, I feel weak. And I just feel so weird. Like my health anxiety has me convinced that I have a brain tumor. I’m gonna send myself into psychosis lol. Yesterday I felt great and was thinking maybe the bad is going away. NOPE! Woke up this morning and felt jittery and floaty all over again… WHEN WILL IT END??? Has anyone else experienced this???
Hi!! I recently started Prozac 20mg 12 days ago. And I’m just seeing if these side effects are normal and anyone else has experienced it. So I’ve been pretty jittery, a little dizzy “swimmy headed” with some derealization. My vision is a little off and blurry and mildly staticky (that’s the only way I know how to explain it) I feel kinda weak in a way. And my anxiety is up x100. With bad panic attacks. I know it sometimes gets worse before It gets better but I honestly wanna give up. It’s awful, I’m trying to push thru. I was prescribed vistaril and Ativan if needed for panic attacks. But I just wanna see if anyone else has experienced this when starting!
